Nice job with our first day of ISAT simulation! We have our math prep tomorrow so get plenty of sleep!! Bring your calculators if you feel you need to use one.

Those of you that don't have the new **Study Island** website password... it is: Renewal2012 Use it to your advantage!!!

Please check out the "Resources" tab. I posted some very useful Math links that correlate with each chapter. The links will take you to individual chapter websites that walk you through each lesson.

Happy Halloween! Check out "Class News" to view some pictures from our Food Desert CAC Unit!

PICTURE DAY! DON'T FORGET THAT CLASS PICTURES ARE NEXT TUESDAY!! Bring in your photo money if you would like a picture package. Say CHEEEEEESE!!


**Check out the updates to Class News! PARENTS please let me know if you do not want me to post pictures of your children. Just send me an email letting me know at smness@cps.edu  Thanks!!**

My goal is to make the website not just a tool for me, but also a learning tool and resource for the students and parents. Although it is the students responsibility to record their homework assignments, I will do my best to post homework assignments each day. More importantly I will post information that parents need to be aware of regarding upcoming, special events.
